It is our mission to create disciples and provide essential resources to those around us.

Getting Started

New applicants should begin by reviewing our Eligibility & Guidelines. For more details on each step of the application and reporting process, see below.

*  Fundraising & Scholarships have their own application process. 

Giving Checklist

A Portal Login is necessary to submit inquiries, applications, or grantee reports.

01  getting started

To get started, you’ll be prompted to complete an eligibility quiz to confirm that your organization meets our basic guidelines. Upon passing the quiz, you will proceed to the application letter of inquiry.

02  Submit Letter of Inquiry

Organizations that have not previously received funding from the Foundation, as well as those that have received funding but are seeking support for a new program not previously funded, are encouraged to submit a letter of inquiry.

03  Invitation to apply

If an organization’s program aligns with the Letter of Inquiry, it will receive an email invitation to submit a complete application within 30 days, either for an invitation or a decline notification.

04  Submit Application

A returning grantee must submit a new grant application once their current grant term concludes and the final report has been filed. Prospective grantees who have received an invitation to apply can access their pending application in the portal for completion.

05  Staff Review

After submission, Foundation staff will review the application and contact you when due diligence begins. Review timing varies based on eligibility and staff availability.

06  Board Review

The Board convenes 5 times a year, and grantees usually receive notification of grant approval within 48 hours following the decision.

07  Giving Contract

Within 15 days of receiving the grant notification, the grantee will receive a contract via email requiring signatures from the CEO and board chair. It’s essential to review the contract carefully, as it details grant stipulations, the Foundation’s Communication Policy, objectives, and reporting deadlines.

07  Payment Disbursement

The Foundation will process payment via wire transfer within 15 days of receiving the signed contract. Conditional and multi-year grants may face delays until specific conditions are met. Refer to the grant contract for details.

Every grant requires at least one report, with some needing interim reports. Check the grant contract for specific deadlines and instructions. Submit grants in our online portal.
